Review Quotes
An Under Milk Wood reimagined by W. S. Graham on a far northern coast, Martin Malone's remarkable Gardenstown surveys the horizon with a hyper-attuned ear for the seasonal music of what happens. With its vertically stacked houses, the village is confined yet open to the vast panoramas captured by the poet's unwavering gaze. Gardenstown has grasped the passionate transitory and fashioned it into something tough and durable as Aberdeenshire granite.
- David Wheatley
Paying acute sustained attention to something - anything - is becoming a radical act in our 24 hour non-stop culture. Malone and Angus avoid the tautological trap of poem and image together by both granting similar but different, and inventively accurate attention to the environs of Gardenstown. The whole thing is beautifully sustained. By the time I reached the conclusion with its 'musical comedy of eiders', I believed I'd walked the whole route.
